Smoked Salmon & Roasted Mushroom Salad
This salad is divine! Made almost out of desperation… On Wednesdays my hubby usually has lunch with his business partner and I fully anticipated that, until I got his text while I was on the incline trainer… “Lunch with my princess today”… (the best man ever!)… I had not planned on lunch. While I jumped off the trainer and Hubby jumped on, I went to work on figuring out lunch. With what I had on hand I made this accidental amazing salad! Really delicious! Continue reading →

Minty Blueberry, Cucumber & Creamy Goat Cheese Salad
If you have a Wegmans in your area you’ve seen a version of this salad before. I’m not a fan of store bought dressings, I love to make my own.

Well, I took the idea of blueberries and cucumbers from a picture and made it my own! It was a huge hit with my family and a real winner in my book! Great for the 4th of July, great for summer, great for parties and great for you! Continue reading →

Mexican Beef Meat Pie
When I was growing up my mother made a dish called ‘Tom’s Taco’s‘ and although I didn’t like it much when I was young, I had the memory of it recently. After reading her recipe, I quickly went to work changing it into something I would enjoy. I kept the Frito’s, because I remembered that was the best part.  Here’s what developed… Continue reading →
